    (b) Treatment of Other Resolution Plan Requirements.--
            (1) In general.--With respect to an appropriate Federal 
        banking agency that requires a banking organization to submit 
        to the agency a resolution plan not described under section 
        165(d) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 
        Protection Act--
                    (A) the respective agency shall ensure that the 
                review of such resolution plan is consistent with the 
                requirements contained in the amendments made by this 
                Act;
                    (B) the agency may not require the submission of 
                such a resolution plan more often than every 2 years; 
                and
                    (C) paragraphs (6) and (7) of such section 165(d) 
                shall apply to such a resolution plan.
            (2) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection:
                    (A) Appropriate federal banking agency.--The term 
                ``appropriate Federal banking agency''--
                            (i) has the meaning given such term under 
                        section 3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; 
                        and
                            (ii) means the National Credit Union 
                        Administration, in the case of an insured 
                        credit union.
                    (B) Banking organization.--The term ``banking 
                organization'' means--
                            (i) an insured depository institution;
                            (ii) an insured credit union;
                            (iii) a depository institution holding 
                        company;
                            (iv) a company that is treated as a bank 
                        holding company for purposes of section 8 of 
                        the International Banking Act; and
                            (v) a U.S. intermediate holding company 
                        established by a foreign banking organization 
                        pursuant to section 252.153 of title 12, Code 
                        of Federal Regulations.
                    (C) Insured credit union.--The term ``insured 
                credit union'' has the meaning given that term under

                    (D) Other banking terms.--The terms ``depository 
                institution holding company'' and ``insured depository 
                institution'' have the meaning given those terms, 
                respectively, under section 3 of the Federal Deposit 
                Insurance Act.
    (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this Act, or any amendment 
made by this Act, shall be construed as limiting the authority of an 
appropriate Federal banking agency (as defined under subsection (b)(2)) 
to obtain information from an institution in connection with such 
agency's authority to examine or require reports from the institution.

            Passed the House of Representatives January 30, 2018.

            Attest:
